Alisa says using the product is great fun. The swatch below shows the glittery effect of when layered on top of deep purple and dark pink. She discovered that mixing the paints together created a more cohesive effect. For the blue swatches below, she mixed Rust-Oleum Interior Glitter Paint in with flat finish wall paint because she noticed when she painted over the intense dark blue the Rust-Oleum Glitter Paint left a milky finish. As you can see, the darker the paint the brighter the sparkle effect. She used cardboard to create color swatches. Upon completion of the project, Alisa decided to experiment with different colors and techniques using the Rust-Oleum Interior Glitter Paint. Alisa was satisfied with the effect she achieved after two coats, allowing the first coat to dry for one hour before applying the second. The Rust-Oleum Interior Glitter paint does leave a slightly textured multi-dimensional finish due to the specks of glitter (see closeup image below).

Alisa, an interior decorator by trade, experimented with the product and decided she obtained a smoother more desirable effect when she went over each layer with a paint brush as well. She then applied Rust-Oleum Iridescent Clear Interior Glitter Paint with a nap roller as suggested by the company. Alisa painted two coats of Behr flat paint/primer in a subtle blush pink color, allowing each coat to dry for one hour. Many use as TSP substitute for getting old gunk and grime off an existing painted wall in preparation for a new coat of paint. Iridescent Clear Rust-Oleum Glitter Paintįollowing this step she cleaned the walls with soap and water. For the most part, the paper came off in one layer after just letting the thick gelatinous, easy spray, no-drip DIF Gel Stripper saturate for a few minutes. Alisa used Zinsser DIF Gel Wallpaper Stripper. Their daughter’s room was finished in a two-tone reflective 1980’s Victorian style floral wall paper, thus the first step was to strip the walls.
